Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in India, issued a strong condemnation of nuclear weapons and the rhetoric surrounding their use in light of escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. This statement follows President Donald Trump's alarming declaration that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his set deadline. Gandhi emphasized that any language or action suggesting the end of civilization is unacceptable. He criticized the Modi government's approach to the conflict, labeling it as inadequate and immoral. The ongoing US-Iran conflict has already impacted India, leading to shortages in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies. Gandhi's remarks reflect broader concerns about the implications of military actions on civilian infrastructure and the need for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the crisis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also expressed concerns over the conflict but has faced criticism for his foreign policy decisions, including a visit to Israel shortly before the war began.
